I just got a newsletter from Hungry Girl with a bunch of pumpkin ideas. Scroll to the bottom of the page. http://www.hungry-girl.com/biteout/show/2103

I want to try the one for Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal Parfait!

I make pumpkin pie without the crust. Instead of the pumpkin pie filling with all the sugar I buy the plain stuff and use splenda. Also, if you are into the pumpkin spice lattes, take a little pumpkin pie spice and add it into your coffee grounds before brewing and then just add a little skim milk and you've got yourself a low fat/low cal latte.

My favorite desert: 1-1/2 Gal of vanilla ice cream
1 can of pumpkin
1 pie crust-premade or not
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnimon
1/4 c sugar

Let the ice cream thaw a little in a bowl, mix in pumpkin, nutmeg, cinnimon, and sugar. Mix well, pour into pie shell and refreeze.

Working with 1 wonton wrapper at a time (cover remaining wrappers with a damp towel to keep from drying), spoon 2 teaspoons pumpkin mixture into the center of wrapper. Brush edges of wrapper with water and fold in half, pressing edges firmly with fingers to form a half-moon. Place on a large baking sheet sprinkled with cornstarch. Repeat procedure with remaining wonton wrappers and pumpkin mixture.
Fill a large Dutch oven with water; bring to a simmer. Add half of ravioli to pan (cover remaining ravioli with a damp towel to keep from drying). Cook 4 minutes or until done (do not boil), stirring gently. Remove ravioli with a slotted spoon; lightly coat with cooking spray, and keep warm. Repeat procedure with remaining ravioli.
Combine milk and flour in a saucepan, stirring with a whisk. Bring to a boil; cook for 1 minute or until thick, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add butter, stirring until butter melts. Gently stir in Gorgonzola.
Place 5 ravioli in each of 6 shallow bowls, and drizzle each serving with 3 tablespoons Gorgonzola mixture. Sprinkle each serving with 1 1/2 teaspoons hazelnuts. Serve immediately.

I love a good pumpkin soup. I usually put some roasted acorn squash and a big can of regular (not pie) pumpkin in a stock pot. Then add some diced onions, carrots, celery, and grated ginger and enough chicken stock to cover. I sprinkle in some curry powder and let it cook on low until it is all mushy, then mash it up. Add a bit of cocount milk when you serve it and it is delish! I might make some next week actually! Have not made it since I started on MFP so would need to calculate it to get calories, but the only thing there that would have much would be the coconut milk.
